wards has earned him the titla of
“Honest Joe” and caused hundreds of
citizens to write pledging him their
votes In his race‘for re-election. He
' handles twenty million dollars every
year and guards twenty-two million
dollars belonging to the school chil-
dren of Texas, being the bonde of the
permanent school fund. He also cares
for five millions in other bonds aQd,
during his service to the State, never
has one penny been misplaced or un-
accounted for. Few State officials
cart point to his spotless record. Hta
friends are proud of his fine record.
“Joe” Edwards has had plenty of
work to do for the people of Texas.
Besides handling the millions in dol-
lars and bonds without a cent miss-
ing, he is chairman of the. State De-
pository Board; lie is secretary of the
State Banking Board, and he is a
member of the State Printing Board*
besides other State duties. He is a
bhsy .man all the time. He has never
shirked any of YT* work nor asked
for more pay. This explains why so
many Texans are giving him their
support in his race for rejection,
which h1S is sure to win. He wants
everybody’s vote and deserves it. His
experience has made him a moat val-
uable State official. As a result of
his study and recommendation the
